My husband is an interesting guy...when he makes enchiladas or other things that he uses scallions or green onions in, he doesn't use the white part, just the tops. Soooo...he decided, rather than let them go to waste, he'd stick them in the ground.

Ah ha, indeed they DID grow new tops...outdoors.

Winter came, and we decided we were fond of those fresh, always-ready scallions, so we put them in a pot indoors, in the kitchen.

....and that worked, too. Recently, our CSA, Fresh Connect, offered organic green onions, so of course we got them. And now we have too many onions for the pot above! We got a long, rectangular, terra cotta pot, and now we REALLY have an onion farm.

We cut them back whenever we need a bit of garnish...and so far, we've never run out of green onions, free and fresh. Doesn't get much better than that.

The Starving Artists have their own blog!

We started doing Starving Artists in the Kitchen on my original blog, The Quicksilver Workaholic, in the fall of 2008--and it was time to break out! So here we are, new blog, new recipes, and we hope, even more new friends.

We've moved away from the Standard American Diet, which seems to have made more people less healthy rather than MORE, and it's been good for both of us. We're pretty close to Primal Blueprint/Paleo and not only lost weight but lost a bunch of health problems along the way, so our recipes reflect that.

NOTE/Disclaimer:

We don't attempt to make any claims for the Primal/Paleo diet beyond passing along our personal experiences and recent research, along with our recipes. We don't give medical advice or attempt to diagnose or treat any form of illness.

Contributors or any other persons in any way connected to this blog shall have no liability, responsibility, or commitment to any persons reading or trying the recipes included here. We just want to share good food and good times!

(Sorry, just seemed prudent to pass that along, as several other blogs and books have!)
